Muffler Replacement

[coleman]

Just noticed that my muffler is rusted through part way around my tail pipe. I'm not noticing a difference in noise level right now, but will probably want to replace it within a few months. What are the thoughts on muffler replacement? Should I go with OEM or aftermarket? I'm not interested in adding rumble or anything. I want the truck to remain as quiet as possible.

If your saying rusted around my tail pipe then I think your talking about the resenator, and not the muffler.

Yes, okay, the resonator. The big, oval can at the back of the car. I had always assumed that was the muffler.

Just hack it off, replace it with some pipe and go about your day. Many of use have done it.

I want to replace it. I'm going to replace it. I'm asking if anyone has any preference as to OEM or aftermarket, not I'm able to cut it off and drive without it.

I had this one installed after going w/o one for a while. The drone was insane and the kids weren't digging it. I recommend this Walker unit to return to stock performance.

I too first thought muffler when I bought my TB.

I went aftermarket:

Amazon.com: Vibrant 1792 Bottle Style Resonator: Automotive

Looks a thousand times better.
